About AWC Korea
Our Mission
AWC Korea is a diverse, supportive and welcoming community dedicated to cultural exchange, learning, service, and friendship in an environment of mutual respect, compassion and understanding.
We believe that meaningful connections across cultures make Seoul—and the world—a warmer, more generous place. Whether you're an expat seeking community or a local English speaker interested in cross-cultural friendship, you belong here.
Who We Welcome
We celebrate differences and provide space for meaningful interaction to support and empower each other.
Anyone who shares our values—regardless of nationality, background, or experience—is encouraged to join. Our members come from across the globe and share a passion for engagement and for learning about and making a positive impact in Korea. If you're looking for friendship, cultural exchange, and a way to give back, you've found your community.

Globally Connected Through FAWCO
AWC Korea is proud to be affiliated with the Federation of American Women's Clubs Overseas (FAWCO).
This connection provides our members with additional international benefits and access to FAWCO's own programming, creating a network that spans continents. Through FAWCO, we're part of a global community of women's clubs dedicated to service, friendship, and cultural understanding. It's another way we stay connected to each other—and to the wider world—even as we build deeper roots here in Seoul.
